It's always frustrating when people try to pretend that legalizing marijuana will somehow solve the problem of systemic racism and injustice in our criminal justice system. Here's an op-Ed I wrote about it.

NJ Advance Media should’ve never had a partnership with the NJ Cannabis Industry Assn to begin with- but I guess it takes a major scandal to stop media and industry collusion.

Thank you for the work you do. For fighting to put the public health & safety of adolescents, teens, and young adults first who are the most at risk for developing mental health issues from using marijuana products.

[Kevin Sabet @KevinSabet]

I’ll be on The Hill today meeting with many elected officials to talk #PotVapingCrisis and why we don’t need more institutional investors in the pot business. House vote on #SAFEAct will also happen, so important to meet w Senators abt concerns.

As a former mental health counselor I am strongly opposed to the marijuana banking act. Please do not put getting stoned and money over the mental health of our adolescents, teens and young adults. #PublicSafetyandHealthFirst

As a former mental health counselor I am strongly opposed to the the marijuana banking act. I firmly believe that marijuana is a serious threat to the mental health of all adolescents, teens, and young adults.

Happening Now: Members of SAM NH join NH Senator Bob Giuda, Dr. David Strang, and Lebanon, New Hampshire Police Chief Richard Mello to urge @SenatorShaheen, @SenatorHassan, @RepAnnieKuster, and @RepChrisPappas to oppose the SAFE Banking Act during the #PotVapingCrisis

.@CharlieBakerMA should be applauded for banning all vapes - including THC vapes, since state “legal” marijuana vapes have caused death and illness.

Big win for public health! @MassGovernor

"As a medical doctor, I am extremely concerned about the potential unintended consequences associated with passing this bill” said Dr. David Strang, an Emergency Medicine Specialist and Chairman of the New Hampshire Prescription Drug Monitoring Program Advisory Council.

[Smart Approaches to Marijuana @learnaboutsam]

“People are getting sick and dying from a lung illness tied to vaping marijuana, the opioid epidemic rages, and the Surgeon General is urging people to avoid using today’s highly potent pot. Congress should follow the lead of NH lawmakers and oppose expanding Big Marijuana."

[Smart Approaches to Marijuana @learnaboutsam]

"Banking access for the marijuana industry will put pedal to the metal on Big Marijuana exploiting communities of color and low income. During the #PotVapingCrisis, any expansion and promotion of increased marijuana use is misguided."

#emergency visits and #cannabis #CPDD19 At the very least be curious about this (if this were #heroin or #alcohol there would be outrage and serious concern). Immediate dismissal of such data expected and will not taken seriously.

Potent pot, vulnerable teens trigger concerns in first states to legalize marijuana https://t.co/UEGBSIWCm4

[U.S. Surgeon General @Surgeon_General]

@getsomekash @WSJ NO!!! Cannabis components can be passed to baby in utero and in breast milk, and there are numerous concerns regarding exposing the developing brain to cannabis - especially with more potent strains and consumption methods that mean even more THC for baby. #nocannabis4kids!

@HammerDaily @ZackFinkNews And doctors and parents and teachers. Legalization was doomed from the start bc it’s very bad policy. We will never let it happen in this great state.
